A year ago I brought home Fenris, 8 weeks old: a baby. He was scared of me and I was scared of messing up. Now I can't imagine life without this loud, smart, stubborn dog. Fenris gets me outside and exploring. His very nature prevents me from wallowing or stagnating and I couldn't be more grateful. I love this dog so much! And I couldn't have done it without @moderncaninetraining - they gave me the tools to communicate and work with my too-smart-for-his-own-good pup. Thank you Kris and Amy!

Bella (AID: 63623) has her flower crown on and is excited for #spring ! She's also excited because it's her turn to find a place to call home!
This seven-year-old, #AlaskanMalamute is an active and super affectionate girl. She's always down for a good chat and is extremely intelligent.
To find out more about Bella, and the type of home she's looking for visit our website (link in bio) 🐾

We are proud to announce our newest upcoming litter (Winter 2017): Nero X Nissa! <3
Both parents have good health test results and this combination has a low COI of 4.85% (25 generations). As usual, in addition to deworming, microchip, puppy vaccinations and pet passport, these puppies will all be DNA profiled via Neogen GeneSeek (AKC markers) and also DNA tested via MyDogDNA (Genoscoper) before they go to their new homes.
We’re expecting that the puppies will be of average size and very wolf-like in appearance. It is probable that some of the puppies may have yellow eyes and we are expecting that they will have small-to-medium sized ears, good stop / slope, long muzzles, nice topline, straight tails and proper conformation overall. As Nero is agouti carrying recessive black (Aw/a) and Nissa is agouti carrying black and tan (Aw/at) we’re expecting a range of coat colors: predominantly Wolf / Red Grey (agouti Aw/Aw = 25% + Aw/a = 25% + Aw/at = 25%) as well as Black Grey (black and tan carrying recessive black at/a = 25%). The puppies will be TDR registered as 2nd Generation Tamaskan Dogs with Full Registration paperwork.
The puppies will certainly be highly intelligent and relatively easy-to-train as they would respond well to positive reinforcement training (food / play motivated). However, due to their wolf content (approximately 20.616% based on pedigree analysis, via CSV / AWD in the ancestry) these puppies may also be more difficult to handle and may have a higher prey drive than some other (lower / no content) Tamaskan litters. Therefore, they would suit experienced and active households with plenty of time to devote to such a dog.
